Dump Matsumoto and Lioness Asuka have been told about their salary conditions, such as “salaries are paid in cash on a monthly basis” and “maximum monthly income is 5 to 6 million yen,” and Dump Matsumoto, who was active as a heel wrestler, “was sent harassing letters containing razors.” Tari She candidly talks about the behind-the-scenes aspects of women’s professional wrestling at the time, such as, “When I opened the cake box, it was full of cockroaches.” She also spoke about her experiences at the time, saying, “I was hated,” and “If a fan attacked me, I would stab as many cockroaches as I could!” I laughed brightly.

On the other hand, Ayame Goriki, who played the role of a professional wrestler for the first time in “Gokuaku Queen”, said, “I gained 10 kg of weight, mostly muscle, for filming, but I still haven’t gained it back.” I was told to do it myself, and I trained for six months,” she said, and Lioness Asuka highly praised her tear-jerking efforts, saying, “It’s an amazing effort to achieve that much in six months!”

In addition, Dump Matsumoto shared an episode from the time when he was also active in the entertainment industry, appearing on TV programs in addition to pro wrestling. “When I appeared on a program called “Every Time Osawagasasemasu,” the staff told me “Please hit me as hard as you can!” and I punched him, but Yoshi Ikuzo scolded me, “You’re not kidding!” “High Heel Momoko He also chided me, saying, “You don’t have to go all out, don’t you?”, he said, revealing the story behind that time.

During the recording of a drama called “Time,” Kusanagi was eight hours late, saying, “Even though I was there, the staff said to me, “What’s wrong with him? It’s starting!” Mori. All the big names, including Mitsuko, were waiting for me…” he recalled. Later, when I asked Kusanagi why she was late, she said, “She said, “I was in the school pool,” and since there were no cell phones at the time, her mother called her to school and said, “Tsuyoshi, it’s time!” He said, making Dump Matsumoto groan with his exquisite expression that was tied to the name of the program.

In addition, Kusanagi confessed her feelings at the time of her professional wrestling debut on “72 Hours Honne TV,” and Lioness Asuka improvised ring names for Inagaki, Kusanagi, and Katori, causing a great deal of excitement.
